Moreover, does neck thickness include fretboard?
Member. Hey there, The measurement is from the middle of the back of the neck to the middle of the fingerboard (the wood part, not the fret). If you included the frets the neck depth could potentially change with a re-fret.
Just so, how thick is a guitar fingerboard? XylemBassGuitar Supporting Member Commercial User. I’ve made several instruments with different thickness fretboards ranging from 3\8″ (9.5mm) to 3-16″ (~ 4.75mm). The latter had a compound radius starting at 10″ at the nut. The thicker boards obviously made the neck stiffer and thicker to play.

How thick is the average guitar neck?

How thick should a guitar neck be?
The depth, or thickness of your guitar’s neck, is the distance from front to back. For example, classic Fenders from the 1950s (such as the Strat) tend to be 0.870 inches thick at the first fret and 0.980 inches at the 12th fret. In the 1960s, these measurements decreased slightly to 0.820 inches and 0.960 inches.
